It's been a while since I learned any new vocabulary words. A long time ago, I told myself that I should always be reading at least one book. It's been 3 months since my last book. The Virgin store on Market Street is going out of business and I made my friend buy me "Morrissey in Conversation: The Essential Interviews." It was 25% off.
Here's what I learned today:
Dominion – a territory or sphere of influence of control or influence; a realm
Vehemently – characterized by forcefulness of expression or intensity of emotion or conviction; fervid
Perfunctory – done routinely and with little interest or care; acting with indifference

Ensue - to follow closely after something; to be a consequence of something
Laconically – using or marked by the use of few words; concise
Dole – grief
Throng – a large group of people gathered or crowded closely together; a multitude
Vitriol – bitterly abusive feeling or expression
Sardonic – scornfully or cynically mocking
Salvoes – a sudden outburst as of cheers or praise; a forceful verbal or written assault
